Rockies, Blue Jays Swap Star Shortstops
DENVER (AP) The Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays have swapped star shortstops.
The teams confirmed the blockbuster trade Tuesday that sends Jose Reyes and right-handed pitchers Miguel Castro, Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco to the Rockies for Tulowitzki and right-handed reliever LaTroy Hawkins.
Both shortstops have remarkably similar career statistics but also a history of injuries.
Tulowitzki is a five-time All-Star and a career .299 hitter. He's hitting .300 this season. At 32, the speedy Reyes is two years older than Tulowitzki. He's a lifetime .291 hitter and is hitting .285 this season.
Reyes is signed through 2017. Tulowitzki's contract runs through 2020.
